Diagnoses

1. <p><a href="https://webaim.org/techniques/hypertext/link_text#alt_link" title="Opens in new tab" target="_blank">The alt text on a linked image is used to describe the link destination</a>. Links should be brief, clear and concise, as screen reader users often listen to the list of links on the page to find content of interest. Long alternative text inside a link often indicates that the image's text alternative is describing the image instead rather than the link.</p> This image's alt text is: <em>Nora Gámez Torres, Paola Margot Ugaz Cruz, Natalia Viana, Omaya Sosa Pascual, Jaime Abello Banfi and Isabella Cota standing in front of a Columbia University banner at the Cabot Prize ceremony.</em>
